Anyone watched Gunslingers? Think it is a discovery historical series.

<p>Nepia's weekly whinge about The Walking Dead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I've just finished S2 and man this show does my head in ... aside from the fact I really like it and will be starting S3 tomorrow. Some spoilers to follow but it seems as though I'm the only one who hasn't watched it so far.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]I think the writing is pretty poor on this show. The wifey car crash is a case in point, obviously the writers wanted to put her in peril so that Shane could rescue her and create more tension in the love triangle. But they could have given her another reason to be driving rather than going to get Rick to bring Herschel back, because that's what he was flippin doing anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The absolute worst part of the show was when wifey and blondie were arguing, man that scene was tiring for me, I just wanted to bang both their heads together - repeatedly. I dislike blondie less than I dislike wifey at the moment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>T Dog, he's only there as a token black guy and to change personality every couple of episodes to create drama.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Carl, in the first season he wasn't annoying, now I just wish that the gunshot killed him. I hate his 'acting', all the pauses he does, it's like the director is directing him like he's in a mumble core film. I thought him wandering off into the bush to stumble upon the stuck walker was just stupid too, even Carl wouldn't have been that stupid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I must say I was genuinely surprised by the resolution of the love triangle. I don't believe the writers did a good enough job of turning Shane into a villiian though, it's like he did a 360 in a couple of episodes.[/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh well, as I said I'm looking forward to watching S3.</p> -

Turns out it is a documentary.... Must a seen a clip of the recreation -
Watched the first two episodes of <em>Gomorra</em>. It's good, lots of plot progression and action already. <br><br><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' class="bbc_url" href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049116/'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049116/</a><br><br>

<p>anyone else signed up to Lightbox?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The selection for a startup is not bad, and although some the majority of the stuff is old or available through 'other' means, there is still old stuff I haven't seen and the convenience is good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On a free 30 day trial and will probably also see out the first 6 months at half price ($7.50 p/m). By that time there will be a good indication of whether their buying is heading in a good direction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quality is good, although I have only watched on iPad at the moment. 5 devices can be registered, and I haven't had any buffering issues although I'm on VDSL, so I wouldn't expect any.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only problem is that the missus is now complaining that the wifi at home drops out in the bedroom sometimes when streaming HQ so I'll have to put a repeater in.</p> -
<p>They've been replaying Attenborough's "Frozen Planet" on one of the channels here. I think it's my favourite wildlife documentary series ever. Fucking stunning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TR season 2 of "The Bridge" is pretty good, definitely watch. Shit is getting real. </p> -

<p>I didn't even know what this was until I just looked it up. I tend to avoid anything to do with Spark, as I have a few friends who work there and they're so in love with their 'culture' I just get pissed off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you say decent selection for a startup.</p> -

<p>Sutter has let slip that he only has plans for a couple of the crew to go (he could be fucking with everyone), so the big money is on Juice as one of them.</p>

<p>[spoiler]Jax is lost, all the good is gone. He is going to do some baaad shit in this series.<br><br>
Fucking Gemma, that fluffybunny. She is going to get everyone killed to cover her own ass.<br><br>
Prediction: Nero kills Jax to save Jemma, just like Clay killed JT [/spoiler]</p> -
<p>NZ viewers - that new series Cover Band looks like it could be pretty funny! </p>

<p>It's a long The Walking Dead season (s3) so my comments are still a few days away, but lets just say that I was extremely happy with one character death and unsurprised with another T-Dog: you lasted longer than expected!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, I just started watching The Blacklist and I must say a few episodes in I'm enjoying it - but what the hell is up with the main chick's hair? It's weird, it looks like a wig.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Attention Rusty: I'm trying to make sense of all the new shows etc from different types of providers (I liked Amazons Alpha House) - are there any comedies you can suggest worth my time that I might not have come across obviously?</p>
